able that the county that shall take the prize
will have it to 60 to the school which shall

THE ENTERING WEDGE.
What Railroad Onicials Say About I
COmmissioners' Decision.

What ISailroad Onicials Say About the
Commissioners Decision.
PHILADELPHIA, April The general
opinion among railroad officials in this
city is that the action OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission in the long and
short haul question concerning the South
ern railroads will crush the entire meas
ure.
They argue that this is the most vital
feature of the entire act, aud that the
stand taken by the Commission, even
though it be of temporary nature, is the
entering wedge, that will split the whole
log.
There is not a railroad of any conse-
quence in the entire country" said one
prominent railroad executive officer, to-
day, that will not make the same claim
as that coutended for by the Southern
lines, and the Justice of their claim cannot
fail to be recognized. Here in almost the
first act of the Commission, they array
against them every railroad that has direct
ly or remotely a water route as a cOmpeti-
tor, and, further than this, they have taken
such position as will unsettle commercial
affairs of the country. for three months or
more -

JOLIET, Ills, April The barb wire
manufacturers CT the county haye per-
fected scheme to close down
a large number of the plants to de-
crease the output and raise the price.
There has been considerable uneasiness OF
late among them, and although they have
been running they claim that the market
Is ogerstOcked and that they are running
at a los. The United Barbed
Company, National concern to
which all the manufacturers belong, pro-
poses to lease all the plants they can at -
psr ton year on their licensed tonnage
or 81 50 q yesr. on the tonnage shipped in
1885, with one per cent. OF value Of the
plants added for three yssrs and close
them up. 1t is expected that so per cent.
win lease, and replies favorable to the
proposition have been received from nearly
! half of them already.

bill defining what it says shall constitute
holidays. 1t provides that January Let,

Der 25th, and every Saturday between June
10 and September 10, after o'clock in the
afternoon, shall be observed as legal hOli-
days.
Mr.. Hood offered a resolution, which
was referred, reciting that the Coercion
bill now pending in the British Parliament
is designed to take away what little liberty
reigns, and that the Senate reneYs its
sympathy with Ireland in her struggle to
obtain free government, and utters its
solemn protest in the name
of liberty and humanity against the
passage of the Coercion bill as being con-
trary to the fundamental principles OF
right and Justice, and commenting the
efforts of Gladstone and Parnell in the
cause Of Irish liberty and bidding them
gOdspeed in the work until the green isle
shall enjoy the same liberty now enjoyed
by our State and nation.

death sentences by electricity was lost on
